Description
Like an encounter that happened on a half-empty dance floor after midnight: music buzzing in your ears, the air sweet with cocktails and cigarettes, and words turning into hints. Everything here is a game, a mystery, a temptation; someone smiles in the dim light, someone takes a step closer, and inside, that very ‘maybe’ is already sounding.
This song swirls like smoke - sometimes hiding, sometimes revealing, and in each repetition there is a promise that anything can happen right now. It's not about love ‘forever,’ but about a moment where time has slowed down and become soft, and the attraction is almost electric. A flirtation on the edge of light and darkness that you want to prolong for at least one more verse.
Lyrics and translation
Original
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
She said, "Let's cut to the chase, pour me another
There's somethin' sweet in the air that's pullin' us together
Maybe it's the music, the buzz in my brain
Maybe I love you, maybe I'll stay
Through the smoke, the wine, the thick conversation
Pure persuasion, could you be my salvation?
The wide eyes tell me you might run away
But maybe you'll love me, maybe you'll stay"
Fascination in the dark (in the dark)
Out of sight (out of sight)
You're a mystery, I'm tryna get it right
Fascination in the dark (in the dark)
Every night (every night)
Addin' up the clues you're givin' me
Now go ahead and hit the light
Go ahead and hit the light
Hit the light
The time is racin', somehow we move slow
Now everything's flowin' and you're pullin' me close
It's not the words, it's in the way that you say
Maybe I love you, maybe I'll stay
Maybe we'll hold on, maybe we'll break
Fascination in the dark (in the dark)
Out of sight (out of sight)
You're a mystery, I'm tryna get it right
Fascination in the dark (in the dark)
Every night (every night)
Addin' up the clues you're givin' me
Now go ahead and hit the light
Go ahead and hit the light
Go ahead and hit the light
Fascination in the dark (in the dark)
Out of sight (out of sight)
You're a mystery, I'm tryna get it right
Fascination in the dark (in the dark)
Every night (every night)
Addin' up the clues you're givin' me
Now go ahead and hit the light (ooh)
Go ahead and hit the light (ooh)
Go ahead and hit the light
Maybe you'll love me (ooh), maybe you'll stay (go ahead and hit the light)
Maybe we'll hold on (ooh), maybe we'll break (hit the light)
Maybe you love me (ooh), maybe you don't (go ahead and hit the light)
Maybe we'll hold on (ooh)
Fascination in the dark
